The unique design of this hub allows you to use seven (7) USB Type-A data ports and 1 (1) USB Type-A dedicated charging port. Its unique eighth (8th) port is a charge only port, no data, supporting 25W of power using QC2.0/3.0 quick charging technology and BC1.2 battery charging specifications.

Each of the USB 3.1 Gen1 seven data ports supports 5Gbps data transfer and up to 1.5A of power output. Operating USB equipment such as printers, scanners, portable drives, virtual reality gear and others are not a problem. The remaining port does not transmit data, it is charge only.

The CG-8PUAU31H supports self-power through a 2-wire plug from an external 12V power supply (sold separately) which supports the single port #8 25W charging.
